Someone better tell Ben that lion prides are matriarchal and female lions do 90% of the hunting and leadership. Lions also scavenge. Oh wait, he doesn’t believe in “science,” “facts” or “the truth.”

Website from Lion Recovery Fund with image of a female Lion and cub and the text “Like elephants, lion prides are matriarchal. Making up the core of a pride, female lions execute decisions and coordination in order to ensure the survival of their pride. The lionesses, well-renowned for their hunting, have to rely on synchronized efforts to catch their prey as most of their prey is small and can outrun them. Lionesses are the primary hunters, whereas male lions only contribute to less than 10% of hunts. With the pressure of having to secure food for the entire pride, lionesses coordinate to ambush their prey, usually by pursuing and pushing it into the rest of the pride.”Kenya Wild Parks Website and text: The Truth Behind the “King” Despite their noble image, lions are opportunists. They are formidable hunters, no doubt, capable of taking down large prey such as zebras, wildebeests, and even buffalo. But hunting requires energy, coordination, and risk. Injuries sustained during hunts can be fatal. Therefore, when the chance arises to feast without exerting effort—or risk—lions are more than happy to accept it. Contrary to popular belief, scavenging is not a fallback behavior or a sign of weakness. It’s a smart survival strategy, especially in the wild, where energy conservation can be the difference between life and death. Lions vs. Hyenas: The Real Scavengers? Hyenas have long been tagged as “nature’s primary scavengers,” often portrayed in media as cowardly freeloaders who feed off the hard work of other predators. However, this stereotype doesn’t tell the whole story. Studies and field observations reveal that hyenas are actually excellent hunters in their own right. They are capable of coordinated pack hunts, and in many cases, they make their own kills more frequently than they scavenge.

Hozier with my kiddo was incredible! The magical voice of wizard king live! He was political in the best way— the rising numbers of money spent on war and deaths was during “Eat your young.” He wore a daisy for peace and was a uniter. (Free Palestine). Shows the power of art to change the world.

This rolling pin was brought over from Russia by my hubs great-grandmother. She was 16 and fleeing persecution of the Jews; her remaining family was killed. Now her great-great grandkids make blueberry pie each July 4th and honor the women who came before. Immigrants made America great, not hate.

one drum I will always bang: culture—books, art, music, drama—is not a distraction or diversion. It is, I’d argue, a more important and enduring product of human society than political shifts. MOBY DICK was written in 1851 and is a more essential human event than anything related to Millard Fillmore

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water. A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most
